Two persons have been arrested for allegedly stealing laptops from Rajdhani Express trains taking advantage of passengers busy fiddling with their phones.

With the arrest of the two accused, Ajay Singh and Juber, Delhi Police has claimed to have busted a gang involved in several cases of laptop theft from Bihar and Kolkata-bound Rajdhanis.

"The passengers generally keep their laptop bags on the upper seat and then sit on lower seat. Immediately they get busy with their cell phones, unaware of the things happening around them. The accused used to strike at that moment and slip away with the laptops," a senior police officer said.
